Music lovers, there are so many can’t-miss concerts coming to Alabama this month. From country stars to a fan-fav Broadway show, you’ll want to put these performances on your calendar this January.

This legendary duo consists of two incredible country music stars. Grammy-winning Crystal Gayle has sung hits like “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue” and “I’ll Get Over You.” Plus, you’ve probably blasted Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA” on the Fourth of July. You won’t want to miss these two performers in Auburn.

2. Tommy Emmanuel—Huntsville, Jan. 21

Guitar lovers, you’ve probably heard of this legend. Tommy Emmanuel is known as one of the greatest acoustic guitarists of all time, who was inspired and applauded by another GOAT, Chet Atkins. Plus, you can listen to special musical guest, Gareth Pearson.

3. The Temptations & the Four Tops—Montgomery, Jan. 22

With famous hits during the 60s and 70s, you’ll want to sing along to The Temptations & the Four Tops in Montgomery. We “heard it through the grapevine” that you can groove to these Motown bands. I’ll be belting it out to “My Girl” and “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg.”

4. Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit—Mobile, Jan. 25

Singer-songwriter and guitarist Jason Isbell is heading to Mobile. This Grammy-winning musician has some big hits like “Alabama Pines” and “Cover Me Up,” which just happens to be one of my favorite songs.

5. Hamilton—Birmingham, Jan. 24-Feb. 4
